  • Add another half noodle to each dish.
  • Spread remaining ricotta mixture over each noodle
  • Layer on the remaining sauce, divided evenly.
  • Top each with the shredded mozzarella, divided evenly between each dish.
  • Loosely tent the dishes with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, allowing cheese to brown.
  • Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

After baking and cooling, remove the extra individual lasagna from pan. Wrap in plastic then put back in pan and freeze. Remove from pan and place in zipper freezer bag.
To reheat in toaster oven, take plastic wrap off, place in same baking dish. Bake 350 for 15 minutes or until hot.
